House lawmakers released the thousands of Facebook ads Russian operatives used to sow division in the U.S. before and after the 2016 election, ranging from blatant political messages to lighthearted memes, Axios' David McCabe reports.

The thousands of ads ran from June 2015 to August 2017. Their release is accompanied by details of how they were targeted to users based on qualities including their interests, age and location.

Details: "Ads and other social media posts by the Internet Research Agency, working in St Petersburg, reached almost 150m users of Facebook and Instagram. Some 13 people linked to the group were indicted by Robert Mueller, the special counsel investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election, this year." [FT]
